The historic and architectural treasures of the region's capital, Girona, are also well worth a visit.
Highlights of the local gastronomy include the produce from the fertile farmlands in the Empordá region and seafood from towns such as Palamós, as well as the area's internationally famous restaurants such as El Bulli.
